Newton, MA – Lasell University men's lacrosse made its presence felt in a big way this season, culminating in a dominant showing in the 2025 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) All-Conference honors. Highlighting the awards, freshman Jack Condon was named GNAC Rookie of the Year, and head coach Dieter Treusdell was recognized as Coach of the Year. Seven Lasers earned All-Conference honors, showcasing the program's depth, talent, and success across all areas of the field.

Jack Condon, a freshman attackman from Atkinson, New Hampshire, had one of the most prolific debut seasons in program and conference history. He led the GNAC in goals with 66—seventh-most in NCAA Division III—and added 22 assists to finish second in the league with 88 total points. A consistent scoring threat, Condon tallied three or more goals in 12 of his 19 games and exploded for a season-best nine goals in a statement win over Albertus Magnus. His dominance earned him six GNAC Rookie of the Week awards and two GNAC Player of the Week honors. Condon also contributed on the ride and ground game with 37 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers, proving his ability to impact all areas of the field.

At the helm of the program, head coach Dieter Treusdell led Lasell to a 14-5 overall record and an undefeated 9-0 record in conference play. The Lasers captured the top seed in the GNAC South Division and reached the conference championship game. Under Treusdell, Lasell was one of the most statistically dominant teams in the league. Offensively, the Lasers led the GNAC with 248 goals, 147 of which came in conference play. Defensively, the unit allowed just 8.2 goals per game overall, including a league-best 5.3 in GNAC action. Lasell's aggressive and disciplined defense also forced a league-high 229 turnovers—ranking 14th nationally—and led the conference in ground balls with 625.

Several standout players joined Condon on the All-Conference teams. Freshman defenseman Bubba Baumeister was a First Team selection after anchoring the back line with 44 caused turnovers—second-most in the conference—and 33 ground balls. Francis Pino, also named to the First Team, excelled as a long-stick midfielder, compiling 28 caused turnovers and 56 ground balls. He also contributed offensively with six goals and two assists.

On the Second Team, attackman Jason Martin earned recognition for his playmaking ability. Martin finished the year with 15 goals and a team-high 32 assists, consistently setting up his teammates while adding 17 ground balls. Faceoff specialist Matthew Carbone also made the Second Team after winning 243 of 371 faceoffs (a 65.5% success rate) and collecting 149 ground balls. He added seven goals and two assists, giving Lasell a major edge in possession all season. 

The Third Team included midfielder Sam Guilmette, who totaled 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points. He also added 27 ground balls and played a crucial role as a two-way midfielder. In goal, junior Michael Catalano was honored after posting 164 saves and a 54.1% save percentage, along with a 12-5 record. Catalano's consistency between the pipes helped anchor the league's top statistical defense in GNAC play. Rounding out the Lasers All-Conference selections is senior Kieran Oliver who was named to the GNAC All-Sportsmanship team.
